This weekend some rad folks threw a clandestine box truck party at a secret location. Everyone made really cool environments in their box trucks. Laura and Robyn made a campfire box truck and I presented some of the stories that Todd Chandler and I collected and edited with audio selects from the inimitable Annea Lockwood.

You can hear some more of the stories we recorded while floating with the Miss Rockaway Armada in 2006 and 2007 down the Mississippi River here: http://thebirdinmyheart.com/2009/01/storyboat/
Here’s a video of Miss Rosa Sparks’ story at the event. Very dark!
The “fire whip guy” is Dan Glass, the creator of the most awesome Smash Truck experience at the Night Market. He also made a fire-blowing train whistle for our NYE Bootleggers’ Ball party and installed fire effects for the breathtaking A Cavallo carousel/ship art car at Burning Man in ‘07. Good times.
